I think they should consider switching some player positions. In my opinion, fy's potential isn't being used completely. He already makes some game-changing plays on support heroes, but it really feels like mid is where he truly belongs to, and his impact on the game could be bigger. Also, from what I saw, Super's and rOtk's performance was pretty underwhelming at The Summit. Drafting should be rehashed too, very strange Enchantress first-round picks.

Hope they'll learn from this tournament, third place isn't that bad, but I hope they'll aim (and perform) for top spot in ESL One.
Only way to know the future is to make it.

its not specifically a VG problem: chinas overvaluing enchantress right now. its still a very good hero, but not first round pickable

the overvaluing of enchantress probably has a lot to do with banana overrunning people with it during NB's dominant run

I don't think VG should switch their player positions. The thing that Fy does exceptionally well is how much he can do with little farm. Give him a blink dagger and he can make things happen.

I do wish that Super would play more of an initiator and rOtK a little less of one. rOtK essentially plays 4 heroes-- bat, doom, nature's prophet, and clock, and when he's shut down or makes rOtK plays, the role of initiation rests solely on Fy. Super can get more reliable farm at mid, and we know he can play heroes like storm spirit quite well.

Yeah, but I've seen Sylar play that hero more often than rOtK

It's a miserable Bo1 and xiao8 severely outdrafted rOtk, Super!'s Brewmaster just doesn't cut against top-tier teams. Give him Storm, TA, Puck, Doom, DK or even Pugna, then we will have a talk.

I hope they do well at ESL-One...it seems like they're doing well in Chinese tournaments but can't break through to win any of them.

Well, out of ESL. WTF does QQQ even do as a coach? Every time I see his interview, he just keeps saying to minimize mistakes, play better, etc etc. Ultimately, they play the same strats, don't tailor them to opponents, and keep picking heroes that they have had little success with.

VG need to get their mojo back. It's so puzzling to see the amount of talent they have continuously under perform, and sometimes choke, in important games. The supports can only carry things so far.

They are as good as any other team in taking towers. But come high ground time (whether on offense or defense), they need polishing.

Consistently making plays and winning 1v1 tournaments do not make you a good solomid. That position requires more than those.
But this post indeed pointed the right direction into VG main problem : no playmakers.
Super is always passive laner, but he could make it up with his teamfight and midgame control. Kinda like S4 except Super sucks on them now. Meanwhile, ROTK is never a playmaker.
They lead to heavy burden to fy and Sylar. fy is a great support, but since he makes all VG plays, no wonder people keep hyping him up to the extent of the overrating. And poor Sylar, he must opt for midgame carry and cannot maximise his heropool because of his team limitation. With no one holding midgame, he will rarely pick any farmer because the opponent will steamroll first.

So, seriously Super, step up your game.

^ Basically. Because of how they play, they rely so much on Super doing well, rOtk cant make space for Sylar and control the mid game and set the tempo, add the fact that rOtk is notoriously hit or miss its just unfeasible, support heroes can only contribute so much
